Recently I had the chance during a technical Friday jam session to play around with Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) with some other geeks .

In short Enterprise data protection (EDP) helps to protect against potential data loss without interfering end-user experience. EDP also helps to protect enterprise apps & data against accidental data loss on enterprise-owned devices, including personal devices that end-users bring to work without requiring changes to your environment or other apps.

Although EDP is introduced with Windows 10 release, the underlying technologies are common known. EDP is primary relying on Encrypted File System (EFS) and AppLocker. In a serie blog posts I will provid some guidance how EDP works and how to configure protected apps, Configuration Manager and Microsoft Intune.
